Is his case in any way comparable to that of Brian Williams? Not really.

Will his career survive? Of course it will. No one turns to him for objectivity.

2. Monica Seles

When the former tennis star recently made the media rounds to discuss her experience with binge eating, she said that it was all about “[raising] awareness that binge eating is a real medical condition.”

A New York Times report this week noted that the company, which won approval to use the amphetamine to treat the condition before hiring Seles to promote it, also happens to be the first to market binge eating as a treatable disorder. Amphetamines have been used — dangerously — to treat weight problems for decades.

Executives at the financial institution recently revealed that it had suffered “reputational damage” after various reports uncovered a completely unsurprising history of tax evasion on behalf of wealthy international clients.

Of course that’s true NOW, because they got caught. But we can see his nose growing through the screen.

4. Vladimir Putin

Putin’s advisors, both Eastern and Western, primarily concern themselves with his business affairs — but they might want to try and teach him how not to be so obvious when he’s lying.

Our two political parties don’t agree on much, but Secretary of State John Kerry and Senator Lindsay Graham shared a laugh this week when discussing how they both know that Putin isn’t telling the truth when he says there are no Russian troops in Ukraine.

Of course he “never intended to misrepresent his military service” by claiming that he was a member of the special forces…

But as a public servant, he has a greater responsibility than almost anyone else to tell the truth. Careers have been destroyed over far less.

6. Wei-Hock Soon

Sure, the fossil fuels industry’s favorite “expert” on climate change conveniently failed to mention the fact that the very same industry has paid more than a million dollars for his scientific papers over the last few years.

But there’s no way they’re not interested in telling the absolute truth, right?
